“And be thankful. Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts.

We bless you for our creation, our preservation, all the blessings of this life, but above all, for your inestimable love in the redemption of our world by our Lord Jesus Christ.” We owe our ultimate gratitude for God's ultimate gift - Jesus

The Book of Common Prayer “So above all, followers of Jesus, in plenty and in need, in palaces and in prison, thank God for his gift of Jesus: his matchless life, his unrivaled teachings, his sacrificial death, his triumphant resurrection.
